Pretty simple really, just a billet spacer and polished stainless acorn nut. Some much more ambitious folks have done a full smooth and removed the motor. Personally my other (simple) favorite mod is a polished aluminum stubby antenna.

You can also buy a T-Handle from Race and Street (Supporting Vendor) to put there.

Thanks for the info, I don't want to go the full remove the motor and do bodywork(I'm sure that would look cool though) I like the simple yet nice results.

Had a similar thought while changing the oil yesterday. my kid has my (now his) red '64 stingray vert in his garage now... lets me drive it when I visit.

Pretty awesome that you gave (or sold) your son your StingRay. Fortunately my son does not read this forum. Like the louvers, nice job!
